Reason for Ban Joined as a survivor, turned hostile on board the Almayer, injuring many of the crew. I'll be leaving it as griefing, please, make sure to read our rules! If you feel this is wrong, feel free to appeal.
Link to previous appeals for the same ban (if applicable): -
Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc) Yes, I know, another ban for the same sort of thing. I am trying really hard to work on this but the rules are as unclear as can be to me.
I was trying to be hostile but I was basically forced to comply and get onboard when the marines arrived early and wrecked the holdout to extract the willing survivors. I did say multiple hostile things and I went immediately back to non-compliance as soon as we arrived and made a big speech on the radio about why W-Y is bad etc.
I then hid in a closet and ahelped about my hostility. I explained the situation and got told (by who I don't know, could really use those logs.) that I could act hostile but needed to follow escalation rules instead of KoS'ing marines. (this is how I remember the ahelp atleast.)
I broke into engineering multiple times to steal some supplies to build a hideout when a MT and the CE locked me in and the MT attacked me with a wrench. I yelled at the MT to stop, which he didn't, so I shot him and the CE and tried to escape, running into more support staff hunting me down and eventually getting killed after decapping a CT.
There are two reasons why I don't think this ban is valid.
The first is that my previous ahelp got ignored by Lucas and he said I turned hostile from friendly anyways as can be seen in the ban reason. This directly contradicts what was told to me in the previous ahelp (unless I severely misremembered it.)
The second part is that I followed escalation rules AFAIK. I got attacked with a wrench, which according to Grimcad (//showthrea...ull=1#post9031) is reason enough to use a lethal weapon. (He said knife, I used a sawn-off shotgun, don't really see the difference between that.)
The only reason why I would see that this ban may be valid is if the contents of the previous ahelp don't say what I think it did. Even so, I wasn't aggressively hostile to the marines, I only enacted non-compliance and defended myself when attacked.
